[2] The creek's steeply sloped ravine was 15 metres (49 ft) deep where it crossed Bloor, until that portion was filled in, in 1915.
Currently, storm sewers empty into channelized open remnant of the creek, south of Bloor, in the north end of High Park.
[3] A follower of John Harvey Kellogg, William McCormick, and his wife, both medical doctors, built a sanatorium at 32 Gothic Avenue, along the creek's banks, in 1905.
[4] The pair built "mineral baths", claiming the spring-fed creek had special health benefits.
When the McCormicks shut down the sanatorium the mineral baths were turned into official city swimming pools.
